The beauty of a woman during pregnancy is so incredible! There is a softness and a beauty that is truly extraordinary. When it is quiet and still, you can feel the bond between mother and child and it is so moving to me to photograph a woman during this time. I am thrilled to say I will be blogging quite a few maternity session over the next few months. Nothing could make me happier. They are one of my favorite sessions:)

The mom-to-be was glowing for her session and it was an absolute honor and pleasure to photograph her. This sweet baby will be arriving any day and I cannot wait!




Beverley Oplinger: you have a enormous blog here! would you comparable to achieve approximately invitation posts by my blog?

This little baby boy has some very sweet and furry admirers! I am always excited when my newborn baby photography sessions will include the family dog! And for this session I was excited X 2!! This new baby is a prince with two loving parents and two adoring protectors! Sweet lucky boy!







I always look forward to my newborn baby photography sessions with great anticipation. Each baby I work with is uniquely beautiful and I get such a quiet joy from working with them and observing the bond developing between parents and child. The business of newborn photography can be quite challenging but the rewards are great, and at least once during every session my heart is touched by these beautiful babes deeply. I cannot tell you what an honor I consider it to work with all these parents and babies. I remember my absolute joy over all other emotions when my daughter was born. And bringing someone into your home during that first few weeks is no small act of trust. I am grateful to my clients for their trust in my skill, their appreciation of my art, and faith in my character. Thank you for believing in me and for commissioning me to create photographs for you that capture the magic and beauty in your lives!

Here are some images from a recent newborn shoot, held as always in my clients home. He was handsome and precious! Enjoy:)

A sweet and precious baby girl, an adorable fur-baby, and parents who are an absolute pleasure….what photographer could ask for more! Truly I enjoyed every moment with this lovely family. Although baby girl wasn’t sure she wanted to cooperate, we eventually made her comfortable and happy enough to make a most excellent subject for her newborn photography session.

This was a full newborn session and so there was quite a variety of family images as well as portraits of just baby. I am so happy to be sharing a portion of them here:)
